The Moral Of the Thing,

Yankton Press: 1t is announced
that III. A. Jeranld, of Lincoln county,
has gone to California to reside. III. A.
Jerauld is the man who, as member of
the legislative council of 1853, was won
over to vote for the capital commission
bill between two days, after standing
with the opponents of that measure al
most up to the close of the session.
One vote was needed and Jerauld's was
secured. Since that event he has gone
into oblivion and now he places the
backbone of the continent between him
self and the scene of his temptation
and fall. Slick Aieck was the serpent
who beguiIea him and then threw him
over. While the serpent prOspers from
the deal his victim craNls off to hide
himself on ., far away coast.

OF EDUCATIONAL INTEREST
County Superintendent Isham Has .
Few Words 10 Say TO Those In-
tcrested In Educational Efforts.

County suDerintendent Isl,am Has .
Few Words TO Say to Those In.
tcrextetl In Educational Efforts.
EDITOR ADyoCATE:-Permit me to
supplementary notice of teachers exam
ination which you publish this week
with few words to teachers and others
interested in our educational efforts.
First, the new law has not been dis
tributed, because only six copies have
come to this Office, and because only a
small part of it applies to our county,
1t is thought.
Second, public examinations occur on
the first Tuesdays of January, April,
June, August and October. No pro-
vision is made for private examina-
tions, and the territorial board of edu-
cation has exclusive right to make
questions and rules governing these ex-
aminations.
Third. every applicant for certifi-
cate will be charged a fee of one dollar,
which will be placed in the institute
fund and used to defray the expense of
the teachers institutes. All persons
taking the examination are applicants.
Fourth, for the sake of law, justice to
applicants, and self protection, it is
necessary for the superintendent to ap-
ply the rules of examination alike to
all who desire certificates. This can
work no hardship to well qualified
teachers and to us seems in no way hui
initiating. To ask a certificate without
an examination seems like asking the
loan of money without security. As
we should take nothing for granted in
examining class when organizing a
new school, SO we should take nothing
for granted in examining teachers. All
should leave written record on which
their certificate is based.
Fifth, the first sentence of section 33
reads: "The county superintendent
shall encourage teachers institutes and
associations, and shall labor in every
practicable way to elevate the standard
of teaching: urge the continued employ
ment of successful teachers: encourage
the immigration of skilled teachers, and
prevent by all proper means the en-
plOyment of all those who are incompe-
tent and inefficient teachers; and seek
to make the employment of all teach
ers by officers responsible public duty
for the public advantage, and to be
free from favor and affection or sectar-
ian interest" Section 80 gives the super
intendent power to withhold or re-
woke certificates for refusing to atten d
institutes after due notice.
Sixth, there are but three grades of
certificates under the new law the first
for two years, the second for eighteen
months and the third for one year. In
addition to the branches required for
second or third grade, a first grade can
didate must pass in geometry, algebra,
physical geography, bookkeeping, nasil-
raj philosophy and civil government.
Scliool boards will please bear this in
mind in examining applicants certili-
Gates this fall.

Sioux City. Failing in each successive
effort t'they finally reached Sioux Falls
and there it is said they have accom-
plished thier desire to turn the Manito-

correct it will go down the Sioux valley
and will parallel both the Milwaukee

From The Echo.

The Eden schools began last Monday
and are in successful operation under
Miss Smith and Miss Wheeler. The
school board have had the school house
repaired and are having the blackboard
space enlarged. They have also fur
nished dictionaries for the use of the
scholars and a fine "Mana-
kin" for the use of the teachers in il.
Illustrating the study of physiology.
Great credit is due the teachers for
their hard and thorough work, and we
are glad that SO much interest is shown
by the scholars. The attendance this
term has already reached 23 in the
grammar grade and 30 in the primary.
We hope the patrons of the school will
show their appreciation Of the good
work of the teachers by visiting the
school at least once during the term.
After very pleasant visit with rela-
tives and friends at Grinnell, Iowa, the
proprietor and wife returned to Eden
Tuesday. For the present they are
stopping at the Commercial Hotel, but
will remove into the north half of the
Gale building in week or so.
